Shake Smart

I love their acai bowls but this review is based on the customer service. I came here for a matcha shake and the girl working didn’t even make eye contact with me as she said hello. I stood in front of her for a few minutes before she realized I was ready (she was too busy on her phone to notice I was looking at her) I finally was able to order and as soon as I was done paying she went right back to her phone. I didn’t appreciate getting put on the back burner just so she can get back to her phone. RUDE! She definitely needs to work on her customer service skills!

Passed it so many times but haven’t actually tried it until yesterday. And I’m looking forward to my next time there. Had the bbq turkey wrap and it was a good portion for lunch and also cheap!

Neat place for design your own custom shakes. They offer a wide variety of candy to mix in. A fun place to treat the kids out.
For the amount you pay for a shake, I would say that you could probably make these shakes at home.

I love EVERYTHING about shakesmart from its delicious protein shakes to its fun and energetic employees; there really is nothing but great things to say! My two favorite shakes are the PB2 and The Perfect 10 but don’t forget to try all the bowls as well. You won’t be disappointed!

Shake Smart is a bit of a contradiction of terms. Shakes are usually associated with unhealthy sweet dairy drinks. Perhaps that’s why I haven’t tried this place out until recently.
Ordering is a bit confusing as you have to come up to the ordering window and look up at the LCD monitors. I chose one of the only «heathy sounding» drinks they had, the greens-​to-​go (spinach, banana, pineapple, OJ, Protein powder). I ordered the small size, which was suitable for a lunch time meal replacement. The taste was okay, not that flavorful, and there was a distinct gritty texture from the protein powder. It reminded me of how Jamba Juice tasted back when they put in powders in every smoothie.
— At under five bucks for a small it’s a good value.
— It’s a permanent kiosk building at UTC.
— If you’re looking for smoothie/​shake hybrids you’ll like this place. If you’re looking for juices you have to go to the recently opened Pressed Juice in this same mall.

My two fave protein shakes are the
Breakfast to go
Perfect 10
Delicious and nutritious

Tried the A Perfect 10 shake and it was indeed true to it’s name! Loved the blueberry, vanilla and peanut butter combo, it’s just what you need for a hot day or even a cooler one when you just want a delicious midday snack. I’ve also had one of their acai bowls with peanut butter, almonds and cacao nibs which was also very tasty. The prices are great for the amount you get, definitely add it to your list when shopping at UTC!

Awesome green tea Macha smoothie and turkey pesto wrap. Love the healthy choices! My new fave lunch stop. All of the staff is very nice! Thank you!

The PB&A acai bowl revives anyone from the summer heat or an intense workout.
After hiking several miles nearby, my friends and I were exhausted and dying from the late summer heat. We came to this small place in the midst of the UTC mall. Within a few minutes of ordering, my PB&A acai bowl was called. I took a bite. Each spoonful was a refreshing smooth blend of acai, almond milk, and a hint of peanut butter mixed with bits of crunchy granola and chocolate cacao. The sweetness is perfect: enough to satisfy my sweet tooth while still tasting healthy. Needless to say, I was revived.
The service was on par with the quality of the delicious acai bowl. From the moment of ordering when I was asked if I wanted a lid to when I was asked if I wanted ice with my water, they had anticipated all of my needs.
Caution: If you order some food, restrain yourself from getting their water. There’s a distinctive taste of tap water. You should be ordering their other (probably) delicious drinks anyways!

Shake smart is a cool little place in the mall. I always get the perfect 10 shake and it never disappoints. Prices are a little steep since its at the mall at around $ 4.95 for a 16oz drink but the quality seems to be worth it.

Shake Smart is awesome!!! I love to shop at the UTC mall and I’m a girl so I take my time from shop to shop and I always work up an appetite walking so much, and nothing makes me more mentally at ease knowing when I get a craving outside of my home I can grab a healthy delicious snack, whether it’s a protein shake or a health bar! Bonus is that everything I’ve ever ordered is so good! Service is great as well, everyone there seems young and full of energy! Definitely excited that I can run errands and gran a healthy snack!

Came here for an acai bowl. It was refreshing and a perfect treat for the hot weather. Substituted frozen blueberries (yes frozen. it kept my acai from melting too fast) for bananas and requested to have coconut flakes instead of granola (better for you). For under $ 6… they give you a ton! Tasty and not super sweet.
Next time, I will ask not to blend the fruits with the acai. Separate is much better.

I wanted something cold and refreshing after working out outside in 100 degree weather at the 24 hour fitness at UTC. I ordered the Tropicali Acai bowl which comes with organic Acai, pineapple, orange juice, protein, granola, and coconut flakes. Tastes pretty good but it wasn’t thick how I usually like it. It was more «soupy» like.
They have a variety of healthy options to choose from. Shakes, wraps, breakfast items, and yogurts.
Prices aren’t bad either. I would come back here again to try some of their other items.

Came here after the gym with my cousin and ordered the Perfect 10 Protein smoothie. It’s DELICIOUS! Did not taste any protein powder in it. It had peanut butter, banana, and blueberries which is surprisingly a match made in heaven! I did sub the regular milk for almond milk.
The service was friendly, and quick! It also felt personable because the guy who took our order and made our smoothie knew my cousin who is a regular. I don’t know why it is but I just love going to places where the people remember you and your order!
I will say the prices are. Well pricey but the amazing smoothie makes up for it and it’s probably the cost of protein powder anyway.
Can’t wait to try a new smoothie next time!

I remembered there was a smoothie kiosk in this mall near the food court that had good acai smoothies. But this experience was different from the first time I went. I am not sure if they changed the menu or if it was a different shop. The first time I went I could pick the fruits that I wanted. I got acai, bananas and some other fruit and you could mostly taste the acai, also it was purple in color.
The second time, however, disappointed. I got the mau Hawaii which had acai, bananas, protein and strawberry. I think because it was pink in color, But mostly taste like banana. The consistency wasnt too thick &you couldn’t taste the ice. The customer service was just alright. I’m not going to be tough because I also work in customer service career. So I know how difficult it is too please everyone. I did ask him if there was a smoothie with acai & I believe there are three. The first one he suggested had peanut butter in it, which to me sounds gross lol! Then I also told him I wanted one with protein then he tells me they all come with protein. Its not what he said its the tone he used. Working with kids I also have to watch my tone or what I say because it could be taken out of context.

I came to Shake Smart on a weekday morning. They’ve recently revamped their logo, but the kiosk is still centrally located within UTC.
The Egg Whites and Green Turkey Breakfast Wrap looked and sounded good, except when I tried it there was a very salty element that pretty much ruined it for me.
I don’t have much to say about the protein shake, except that I ordered a regular and was served a large (also couldn’t finish). No itemized receipt was given so I couldn’t review the charges. A wasted $ 11.

If I could not give any stars at all — I would. The business owner himself oh so rudely took my daughters order, the smoothie tasted so much like vanilla… I mean did your hand slip while pouring in the protein? I am a huge fan of Beaming smoothies and absolutely will notice the over kill on certain ingredients in any smoothie…
Anyhow I could forgive an off day making orders, but what I can not forgive is how rude the business owner himself was to my daughter. He literally was blatantly annoyed with her asking about the smoothies. So, sorry dude, I guess that’s what I get for cheating on Beaming. — You have a Beaming Day Sir! Or at least for the sake of your little kiosk in the middle of UTC, take some Customer Service Classes!!! :) Paaaaleeeeeeze. Thank you.

Super nice healthy pineapple shake by the lady who works Sunday evening! #sdsu
u gotta include mangoes on the menu…

What the!!! After the streak of bad luck that I’ve had with restaurants lately — I decided to give something else a shot.
Super-​dooper tasty! I’d take a picture of it but the Fruitopia shake I had — Rocked. And the young lady behind the counter took the time to guide me through the process — with impatient people standing behind me. That was a nice touch and deserving a star on its own. Very surprised because I’ve passed this place a zillion times and never stopped. I’m glad I did!

When I work out at the gym in the morning this is my goto spot. Protein shakes here are yummy in my tummy.
Friendly staff, great food and reasonable prices.
